Back again...a newbie at ODS so I am doing this baby steps-
At any rates is there to do a similar "split" within a column so that the text wraps to the next line-

Incidentally I use proc format for the observations so that my proc format statement is:

value $unitsvap
'10 ICC'="ICC:10 &ICCVAP / Days without a VAP"
...code...

What I would like is that it splits after the / into two lines.

Thank you all again for your tips and advice...

Take a look at this example from 'VAP to ...'
with an escape character you are able to use some facilities
like \n new line \_ unsecable blanc and so on see at

proc format;
value $s
"M" = "really \n macho"
"F" = "uncredible \n vamp"
;
run;
ods escapechar="\";
ods listing close;
ods html file="d:\temp\line.htm" ;
title 'Special class' ;
proc freq data=sashelp.class;
tables sex;
format sex $s.;
